But I wouldn't have kept reading if these stories hadn't grown on me more and more as I read. By halfway through, I was in that state where I resented everything that required me to put the book down. Perhaps because we are of an age, I really appreciated his approach and tone. The writing's good but not self-consciously literary, like it was written for an MFA workshop. They are sometimes grim but I didn't feel like that was for shock value or an effect. It came across like telling truths about individual lives, which is kind of the point of fiction, right? I hope this book gets the audience it deserves. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"Little Reef and Other Stories" announces the arrival of an original voice in literature. From Key West to Maine, Michael Carroll s debut collection of stories depicts the lives of characters who are no longer provincial but are not yet cosmopolitan. These women and their gay male friends are B-listers of a new, ironic, media-soaked culture. They live in a rich but increasingly divided America, a weirdly paradoxical country increasingly accepting of gay marriage but still marked by prejudice, religious strictures, and swaths of poverty and hopelessness. Carroll shows us people stunned by the shock of the now, who have forgotten their pasts and can t envision a future." No library descriptions found. |
